JCTP is a regional platform which convenes stakeholders in coal regions affected by the energy transition in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The focus is on knowledge sharing, capacity building and enabling access to resources.The Platform is currently focusing on conducting a needs assessment of stakeholders and strengthening its understanding of the Just Transition context through a series of analytical papers. The Platform will also pilot several mechanisms for dialogue at the regional level through the annual forum and at the community level through peer dialogues in each of the focus countries.

Strategic Outcome 4: Knowledge and Awareness Raising
The ASEAN Power Grid Advancement Program (APG-AP) aims to support the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to create a low-carbon regional power interconnection with a working multilateral power trading arrangement. APG-AP will advance energy transition agendas in ASEAN through the integration of renewable energy in the grid and reduction of coal and fossil fuels in the region’s energy systems. Projects carried out as part of the APG-AP will generate important knowledge products and presentation material to enhance the confidence of the political decision-makers and the decision-making institutions in the energy sector decarbonization, most importantly via establishing a viable, flexible and digitized transmission network where renewable energy supply can be channeled to support the regional demand.
The Roadmap provides an in-depth assessment of the existing bilateral and sub-regional interconnections to envision how ASEAN could develop MPT arrangement(s), drawing in from international case-studies and experiences. In addition, the roadmap outlines the potential financing framework to implement MPT in ASEAN according to the recommended direction and envisioning of the APG. The establishment of a MPT will in turn enable countries in ASEAN to trade power, particularly with a higher share of renewable energy.
ETP bring together the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) into the ASEAN Power Grid Advancement Program (APG-AP) to leverage on its technical expertise and political coordination support. ESCAP is developing resources to increase awareness and understanding of the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) initiatives, aiming to foster broader support both within and beyond the APG. Expected outcomes include enhancing the readiness of key stakeholders for the next phase of APG-AP implementation, leading to a more collaborative and effective approach to delivering project outputs, including the pilot multilateral power trade project.

Strategic Outcome 3: Extending Smart Grids
This project aims to accelerate the retirement of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) and replace them with cleaner energy sources. This aids the reduction of emissions of harmful pollutants like sulfur dioxide, which contribute to acid rain and air pollution. A key deliverable is the Transition Advisory Revolving Facility Demand Assessment Report, which will inform the development of a facility to support CFPP retirement. Additionally, the project will carry out a comprehensive policy and regulatory review; exploring the feasibility of a pilot project to be implemented in the Philippines.

Strategic Outcome 2: De-risking Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Investments
This initiative seeks to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam by fostering strategic twinning partnerships between diverse stakeholders and their international counterparts. Target participants include sub-national governments, private sector entities, and industry associations. The goal is to cultivate mutually beneficial knowledge exchange, rather than a one-way transfer of information. By sharing practical experiences, challenges, and best practices, these partnerships will promote collaboration and drive transformative change.

Strategic Outcome 4: Knowledge and Awareness Raising
The Energy Transition Roundtable is a platform for exchange of information, knowledge, networks, concepts, technologies to develop leadership among region’s energy transition stakeholders. It provides the participants with tools with which they can navigate the complex energy transition processes, while addressing the impediments and providing solutions to the most pressing energy transition issues.
Results The Energy Transition Roundtable provides participants in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam with:
x Professional development for energy transition leaders and stakeholders in Southeast Asia.
x Access to a network including energy transition champions and stakeholders.
x Access to an online library of valuable resources related to energy transition.

Strategic Outcome 4: Knowledge and Awareness Raising
The overall objective of the project is to improve the methodological approaches for ETP’s donor mapping in Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The project will help identify the gaps and overlaps of donor activities related to energy transition in Southeast Asia to ensure alignment and avoid repetitions of works, allowing for more directed and streamlined strategies for energy transition projects. The outputs of the donor mapping are shared with Southeast Asia Information Platform for Energy Transition ( SIPET) implemented by ETP’s aligned program, CASE, that builds a database of donor activities in Southeast Asia and disseminates it to the public.

The project aims to de-risk renewable energy by developing an agenda for optimising market mechanisms to facilitate competitive renewable energy into the energy supply. This project will diagnose the current power purchasing systems in Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, develop an understanding of the barriers, and through consultations draft an action agenda for adopting market mechanisms for the authorities to implement. DCAT foundational work to be succeeded by programs to implement market mechanisms.
